This combination creates a next-generation intelligent mobility hub, offering more professional, convenient, and efficient mobility experiences by improving complex information processing, deep user understanding, and decision-making execution.  

The Apollo smart cockpit model leverages visual, vehicle, environmental, weather, and user preference data to provide personalized interactions as soon as the user enters the vehicle. It can generate customized greetings, recommend preferred music, and automatically adjust settings such as air conditioning, seating, ambient lighting, and driving modes. Additionally, with real-time internet access, it can accurately respond to time-sensitive needs and offer creative features like AI-powered painting and casual conversation, delivering a highly interactive in-car assistant experience.  

With the combined capabilities of ERNIE and DeepSeek, Baidu's intelligent mobility agent further enhances its ability to understand users' deeper travel needs and provide intelligent, comprehensive, and human-centric services at every stage of the journey.  

Leveraging its strong mass production capabilities, Baidu Apollo has successfully integrated the ERNIE large model into mass-produced models such as the Cadillac LYRIQ, Buick GL8 ES PHEV, and Geely Galaxy L6 in 2024. The enhanced Apollo smart cockpit model, powered by DeepSeek, will soon be deployed in new models from Cadillac and Buick.
